Ok so a funny thing happened last night. I got the idea to sell the polysix as soon as I finish installing the kiwi upgrade because I found a discounted OB-6 and I think I can sell the kiwisix for nearly as much

So now I need to sort of disassociate myself with the korg, because I don't want to fall in love with it after fixing it

Some of you might recall that I used to play an OB-8 and I am a huge fan of Oberheims. So in pretty excited about the OB-6 (even though it only has 49 keys .?)

Then I was talking about it with STG and he pointed out that with the current pricing of used Juno 6s, I could actually sell that too and pick up a Deepmind 12.

This might just happen.

Hopefully you will come to see that I do recognize the ridiculousness of my synthing journey, but I feel pretty good about this.

STG has a soft spot for Junos. His live rig is down to one Juno 60, but he has a spare Juno 6 and another Juno 60. Now the guy makes incredible music with them, and a lot of people seem to love them, but I never really got attached to them. The one I have showed up in a trade as an offer I truly could not refuse, so I have no issues with getting rid of it.

I haven't really looked too closely at the DM12, but it certainly appears to do an awful lot of shit. And of course I have this serious GAS problem so.....

The DM12 does seem like a proper beast. I think it will definitely be a great addition to your setup.

I wouldn't mind a DM12+REV2 setup. One smooth, one bright, I think they'd compliment each other really well. But maybe a DM12+OB6 would work... I'd just hate to have TWO 49 key synths? \. .? Of course, adding the Fusion 88 keys would kind of solve that...

Of course, none of this will happen anytime soon, I don't have any hobby budget as I'm constantly told we are too far behind in our retirement savings...
